The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Wii Sports is better for parties. WarioWare has the tendency to shun those who suck at games.

Xbox Live Arcade-esque downloadables coming soon to a Wii console near you!

Re: The Wii is Here.

Warioware is cool, but I don't like it so much for party situations because:

a) everyone has to use the same remote. having 4 remotes, this is just plain annoying.
b) I know all the games really well, so I always kick ass.
c) there isn't a quick tutorial mode. I suppose I could just go to the temple and show people all the form things in order, but... whatever.


still a damn good game, though. (also, don't know if I posted it here, but I got all of the microgames, and pyoro n. so fun!)

I get the feeling that Mario Party 8 will be better for party situations.

Re: The Wii is Here.

The ultimate party game is Warioware Smooth Moves.

Amen to that. I've had several "Wii Parties" that centered around Warioware, and it was nothing short of a blast.

The other piece of news is that Final Destination-esque background changes are in order. They utilize day / night transitions on the stages in Brawl.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I'm going to get Mario Party 8.

I haven't bought any Wii games except for LoZ, so I don't care how good it is. It is a party game and should be fun.

The ultimate party game is Warioware Smooth Moves.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I'm still waiting for the updated SSBB site
But that Metroid Prime news makes me happy

[ducky285]

Re: The Wii is Here.

Metroid Prime

Man, I have to start playing the Wii again.

[Squeek]

Re: The Wii is Here.

So, Metroid Prime has a release date. August 20th. Exactly three months from today.

Mario Strikers is due out July 30th, and Battalion Wars 2 is some time in September.

There ya go.

ps - Wendy's has a promotion for their Frosty Float to win a free Wii, Wii games, or Wii points.

Re: The Wii is Here.

This is ridiculous.

I got Elebits home for the first time today since getting my new Wii from Nintendo.

Guess what. It doesn't work.

I JUST tested it in my friend's console and it worked fine. This is a BRAND-NEW CONSOLE. So I erased my data thinking it was corrupt, but no! It STILL DOESN'T WORK.

I'm about to format it. Ugh. Good thing I have an SD card to back up the rest of my data.

Edit: That got it going. Shouldn't have had to do that. So now I know it wasn't just the console or the game. Something about the system settings affecting the loading of the save data.

Well, good thing I love the game, otherwise I'd be pissed about losing my near 100% perfect save data.

Oh wait. I still am =/

Re: The Wii is Here.

I thought it was fairly obvious that it was a mockup =P

Re: The Wii is Here.

ya *** here it is:

MOCK UP OF WHAT IT COULD BE

I think it'll look like this:

C===========OO SUPAR LONG NEK LOL MOCK UPS ARE FUN

Re: The Wii is Here.

Didn't IGN also post the concept image of the GC controller style Wiimote addon?

I would take anything they have to say with a grain of salt. Besides, that's obviously a render. I'll be impressed when I see a photo.

Sorry for the page stretch guys,





T'was on IGN. Interesting.

Re: The Wii is Here.

For those who enjoy the Soul Calibur franchise, there's a Wii-only game coming out. It's pretty much a barrier between SCIII and SCIV.

Supposedly it's an action-adventure game outlining the stories behind a few of the characters, namely Seigfried.

Edit: Don't feel like bumping for unimportant-ish news. Got my Wii back from Nintendo. They replaced everything. I guess my console was unrepairable. Then again, it might just be that they can't fix an individual game problem like Elebits not working without getting in touch with Konami.

I did actually verify that Elebits worked in my friend's console. So, that wasn't a lie. I have no idea what caused it to cease functioning in my console.
